Psalms 76

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.

(Til Sangmesteren. Med Strengespil. En Salme af Asaf. En Sang.) Gud er kendt i Juda, hans navn er stort i Israel,

2 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

i Salem er hans Hytte, hans Bolig er på Zion.

3 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)

Der brød han Buens Lyn, skjold og Sværd og Krigsværn. (Sela)

4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.

Frygtelig var du, herlig på de evige Bjerge.

5 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

De tapre gjordes til Bytte, i Dvale sank de, og kraften svigted alle de stærke Kæmper.

6 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

Jakobs Gud, da du truede, faldt Vogn og Hest i den dybe Søvn.

7 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

Frygtelig er du! Hvo holder Stand mod dig i din Vredes Vælde?

8 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

Fra Himlen fældte du Dom. Jorden grued og tav,

9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)

da Gud stod op til Dom for at frelse hver ydmyg på Jord. (Sela)

10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

Thi Folkestammer skal takke dig, de sidste af Stammerne fejre dig.

11 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.

Aflæg Løfter og indfri dem for HERREN eders Gud, alle omkring ham skal bringe den Frygtindgydende Gaver.

12 He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!

Han kuer Fyrsternes Mod, indgyder Jordens Konger Frygt.
